Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) has announced the recipients of the inaugural New Faculty Recognition Award for the 2024-25 academic year. This award recognizes new faculty at Penn State who have demonstrated a clear and ongoing commitment to enhancing student learning by actively engaging with TLT’s resources, events, consultations and programs.
By taking part in a variety of TLT opportunities, including instructional consultations, faculty development sessions and initiatives focused on the use of technology in teaching, these new faculty members worked to develop their digital fluency skills with the goal of advancing teaching methods and student learning outcomes.
“By investing in professional growth and embracing new educational technologies, these faculty members are already making a powerful impact on their students’ learning experiences,” Crystal Ramsay, senior director of Teaching and Learning with Technology, said. “We are proud to recognize their efforts and look forward to supporting their continued success.
